Protesting Charlton fans insist they have “no intention” of getting Saturday’s game against Burnley abandoned, though they still plan to once again make known their strength of feeling against the current ownership of the club.

The group of furious supporters who’ve organised a string of protests against the club’s Belgian owner Roland Duchatelet had promised “no let-up” as they plotted their latest angry demonstration at the Valley.

But with Burnley looking to wrap up the Championship title at Charlton and the victors of Boro v Brighton keeping a close eye on developments at the Valley , Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD), say they will “respect the integrity of the competition and the ambitions of the visiting club”.

And although the protesting fans still intend to express their anger against the owners and running of the club, CARD’S statement will come as a relief to the Football League and the FA.

With the Charlton and Burnley game being confirmed as one of two televised fixtures, as well as the decider at the Riverside , bosses will have been desperate to avoid a humiliating repeat of the final day of the season at Blackpool last year, when protesting fans forced the home game against Huddersfield Town to be abandoned.

“The Charlton Athletic fans who comprise the Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet congratulate Burnley on winning promotion back to the Premier League on Monday evening,” reads a statement issued by CARD.

“As the organisers of all the main protests seen at The Valley in recent months, we’ve noted the concern expressed by Burnley fans and others about the possibility of Saturday’s match at Charlton being abandoned and the potential impact on the top of the Championship table.

“We’re also aware that this weekend’s game will be subject to an unusually large police presence and that there is potential for confrontation between Charlton fans and the authorities on the one hand, and between rival supporters on the other.

“CARD is therefore making its position clear in advance that we have no intention of preventing the completion of this match and neither will we be encouraging others to do so.

“This does not mean that we will not be protesting on the day. We will. But we will respect the integrity of the competition and the ambitions of the visiting club.

“Given the level of anger about the situation at The Valley, we cannot speak for every Charlton supporter on this and we make no claim to do so. However, our aim is to destroy the regime wrecking our club, not the game itself.

“We hope this statement offers some reassurance to fans of Burnley, and indeed Brighton & Hove Albion and Middlesbrough, ahead of what we recognise to be an important weekend for their clubs.”

Charlton’s fans had previously insisted their protests would be “unrelenting” with suggestions online that the furious supporters were planning to disrupt the game by launching hundreds of sprouts on to the pitch.
